Pope Leo: “Creation is crying. But many powerful people do not hear this cry: the wealth of the earth is in the hands of a few, very few, increasingly concentrated – unjustly – in the hands of those who often do not want to hear the groaning of the earth and the poor.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

In the last, say, 25 years, how many parcels have you had lost in the mail? Or other services for that matter? For me it’s zero.

I sincerely love how at Christmas, Protestant churches tacitly acknowledge that images of Saint Mary are not in fact sinful relics of “paganism”

Saint Mary “is greater, more worthy and more fulfilled, than everything else which God has created, and which is inferior to her. Above her is no created thing, except for the blessed humanity of Christ.”

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.

"I can't afford a visual artist"

So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?

Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

“The man [in the parable of the banquet] invited those society considered to be worthless. ... Indeed, he had, in some ways, become one of them, not because he was poor like them, but because he had become rejected like them. He found himself in solidarity with them.”
Jesus calls us all to salvation, but to accept it, we must take the path which he set up, following what he told us to do instead of thinking we can just sit back and make excuses to do nothing: www.patheos.com/blogs/henryk... #Catholic #Salvation
Rejecting Excuses: Accepting Christ's Invitation
Christ warns us that our excuses for not properly following him might lead us to an end which we do not and should not desire.

I’ve done over 8,000 rides in six years, have a perfect 5-star rating, but have never once gotten the “great conversion” compliment in the app.

I hate that we have to explain this every year: The TIME "Person of the Year" award is specifically for the BEST person of the year, it means the editors of TIME think this person is objectively better than all other people, that it is their favorite person who they 100% support

I’ve been quoting this to my wife over a decade and just today learned that she didn’t know the reference!
